Ever since Princess Xuan had caused a ruckus at the Residence of Prince Rong, King Xuan had gone to Ying Ying to apologize, but he had never met Ying Ying. After further inquiry, he found out that Ying Ying had moved to the Residence of Prince Rong to escape. With a backer like Princess Consort Rong, King Xuan didn't dare act rashly. He couldn't wait to see what kind of feelings he had for her. He was prepared to visit her in her house.

The newly built Rong Mansion was located in the eastern outskirts of the city. Although it was far away from the city, it had been built in a magnificent manner and with a grand momentum. After an hour of walking out of the manor, the distance from the manor was getting closer and closer. After passing through the small alley in front of them, they arrived at the manor. He turned into the alleyway. Because it was still early and he was in the suburbs, the alleyway was empty. Thinking that he would be able to see Ying Ying soon, he felt happy.

The sky in September was a deep blue. A few clouds were floating in the sky, making the sky seem even brighter.

King Xuan raised his head and glanced at the clear sky without stopping. When he was halfway down the alley, he suddenly felt that something was amiss.

The alleyway was too quiet and there was no wind, but King Xuan felt a breeze from behind his neck. Although the breeze was soft, it made him curious and made him turn his head involuntarily. Turning his head, he saw a sword heading towards him, silently stabbing forward. If he did not turn back in time, this sword would have most likely been afraid of his life!

King Xuan was greatly alarmed. He immediately dodged the sword and saw that the person holding the sword had a black veil covering his face. However, upon closer inspection, he realized that it was a woman. He couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"

The woman slightly smiled, revealing only a pair of clear eyes that were like water from a black mountain as she coldly replied, "The person who will take your life!"

King Xuan was surprised. "You and I have no enmity with each other, why would you want to kill me?"

The woman retorted, "Don't you know what you've done? "Enough nonsense, hand over your life …" As he spoke, he stabbed out with his sword once more.

This strike seemed ordinary and ordinary, but it was filled with a strong killing intent. King Xuan felt that the sword qi had arrived before the sword qi, and the sword qi seemed to penetrate his skin, causing him to shiver.

Before the sword light had arrived, King Xuan had already leaped up from the horse's back. He didn't have a sword in his hand, and with a shake of the horsewhip in his hand, it turned into a streak of white light as he struck towards the woman.

The girl's sword clashed with Duke Xuan's whip, causing a loud sound to ring out.

Then, he landed on the ground and began to fight with the girl. One whip and one sword, they crossed each other in the air.

King Xuan's martial arts were extremely high, and the woman's sword techniques were even more profound. With each thrust of her sword, it seemed as if she was carrying Yin Yin's Qi with her. Each sword was like a dance song, light and sharp.

The black whip in his hand struck back, and a thin horsewhip appeared. It was so straight that it was like a sword, and when it collided with the woman's shining white sword, it actually emitted a sound of gold and jade.

The woman let out a clear shout as the sword in her hand danced in her hands. However, every thrust of her sword was accompanied by the whistling sound of the wind. On the other hand, each of King Xuan's lashes was like a sorrowful song of the wind, paired with the girl's sword techniques, lashing out with each whip. The woman was like a fairy that flew into the sky, like a heavenly woman depicted in a mural. Her movements were graceful, however, it was as if King Xuan's attacks were just perfect to complement with her dancing movements.

After a while, King Xuan's expression gradually turned grave and sweat began to seep out from his forehead.

The woman's sword techniques were gaining the upper hand, suppressing King Xuan to the point where he was at a disadvantage. In the end, when he didn't have the strength to resist, King Xuan suddenly shouted, "I know who sent you!"

The girl stopped her sword in shock. The sword was only three inches away from King Xuan's chest.

King Xuan looked at her steadily and said word by word, "I know you are sent by Ning Wang to kill me."

The woman was even more astonished. She glanced at him and asked, "How do you know?"

"In the entire world, only Ning Wang would hate me so much, and only he could do such a thing!" King Xuan calmly replied to her.

The woman sneered, her veil revealed only a pair of beautiful eyes, black and white but also eyes like water.

"Since you know that Ning Wang sent me to kill you, then I definitely cannot leave you alive!" After the woman finished speaking, she thrust the tip of the sword forward. If she moved another three inches, King Xuan would be struck.

"Ning Wang has already lost his power. Although the Emperor's attitude towards him has changed, it's easier said than done if he wants to make a comeback." King Xuan said disdainfully. He was very clear that if Ning Wang dared to rebel, the emperor definitely wouldn't hand over the throne to him. But the situation now was actually more advantageous for him and Prince Rong!

"So what?" The woman continued calmly, "As long as he can pay me silver, I can still take your life!"

"A good bird chooses a tree. Even if you can kill me, I'm afraid you will be implicated. Moreover — "King Xuan glanced at her." You also know that this duke's strength is above that of Ning Wang. If you were to follow this duke in the opposite direction, this duke can guarantee that you will receive even more! " After which, he sneered coldly.

The woman hesitated, the sword in her hand already trembling slightly.

King Xuan continued, "King Ning is conspiring against us. Everyone in the court knows that the Emperor has already shown him mercy, and … This time, although this king was the one who found out about it first, Prince Rong came forward to destroy it. This king is just a scapegoat, even if you kill this king, it will be useless! "

"You talk too much!" The woman decisively stopped King Xuan's words. "You won't be able to escape a calamity today. Quickly hand over your life!" As he spoke, he thrust the tip of the sword forward, and the blade had already pierced through Duke Xuan's lapel.

There was no trace of fear or laughter on King Xuan's face. Instead, he laughed loudly, as if he didn't put life and death in his eyes.

When the girl saw him laugh, her sword tip paused as she asked him, "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing. Lady Xiao can't see through the current situation. Now that Ning Wang has lost his power, what's the use of you following him?" King Xuan answered calmly.

The woman's beautiful eyes revealed a teasing look, "Death is at hand, and you still want to say that? Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you with a single sword?"

King Xuan calmly looked at her. "I know you won't kill me."

"How can you be so sure?" The woman laughed softly. Her voice was as clear as the sound of a bellowing wind.

"I know this lady is a smart person. There is no mistake when choosing a smart person!"

"I'm going to kill you now, and you still say my choice is correct?"

"I am confident that the lady will not kill me." King Xuan's voice was deep and filled with an unquestionable tone.

The woman silently stared at him, then with a gentle smile, she slowly withdrew the sword in her hand, "You're right, a good bird chooses a tree. How could I make such a mistake?"

"I know that the lady will choose to do so!" King Xuan lowered his head to look at the area in front of his chest where the tip of the sword had been cut and smiled coolly. "With Lady Ji's martial arts skills, if I can help you with this king's, this king will definitely not treat you unfairly!"

"You know what I want." The woman's smile disappeared and she returned her sword to its sheath.

King Xuan laughed in delight.
